- August 11, 2014, 20:30:04 PMI just switched from a Metzler 880 to a Shinko 777 about 2000 miles ago, and I have to say, I like the Shinko's better. The grip seems better, as does the 2up comfort. So far, my favorites have been the Continental Milestones, because they simply last forever, but if these Shinko's wear well, they might be a new favorite. They are more grippy then the Conti's, so I'm wondering if it's a softer compound, which could affect wear. So far, I'd suggest that if you're bigger into corner carving, the Shinko's might be the way to go. If you like to take it easy, the Conti's will last forever!

That is one finely decked out 800, and yes they do need them WWW to look their best....

- August 11, 2014, 19:24:04 PMProbably a redundant topic....but I am replacing a worn Metzler Marathon '880 on my 2003 800. I was thinking of ordering the same tire (came with the bike when I bought it) but if someone has a good recommendation for a rear wide white...I'm all ears!
